When many people are involved in an activity, it is often
difficult, if not impossible, to pinpoint who is morally
responsible for what, a phenomenon known as the 'problem of many
hands.' This term is increasingly used to describe problems with
attributing individual responsibility in collective settings in
such diverse areas as public administration, corporate management,
law and regulation, technological development and innovation,
healthcare, and finance. This volume provides an in-depth
philosophical analysis of this problem, examining the notion of
moral responsibility and distinguishing between different normative
meanings of responsibility, both backward-looking (accountability,
blameworthiness, and liability) and forward-looking (obligation,
virtue). Drawing on the relevant philosophical literature, the
authors develop a coherent conceptualization of the problem of many
hands, taking into account the relationship, and possible tension,
between individual and collective responsibility. This systematic
inquiry into the problem of many hands pertains to discussions
about moral responsibility in a variety of applied settings.
